Additionally, we crafted doors that fold away when opened, to become a continu- ation of the paneling. The colorful sofa pillows were added after the Elizabeth Murray painting was installed, to more firmly connect the artwork to its setting, as do the electric blue mohair otto- mans.” THIS PAGE, TOP: “In the kitchen/informal dining room, the marble-topped table, uphol- stered chairs, and weathered limestone floor add a note of informality,” Watson writes, “while the refined nickel chandelier ties the space to the rest of the apartment.” FACING PAGE, TOP: “The foyer sets in motion three of this New York apartment’s principal motifs: reflectivity, classi- cism and the presence of dynamic art,” Watson writes. “The compelling presence of the French Deco and Austrian Biedermeier pieces in the foyer (which connects to the dining room, with its walls upholstered in Venetian silk velvet) sets the stage for the refined, striking glamour that is to come.” RIGHT: “Though it looks directly across Fifth Avenue (a mere three floors below) into the arched windows of the classical galleries of the Metropolitan Museum, the master bedroom remains an oasis of tailored serenity,” Watson writes. “My studio designed the upholstered headboard, flanked by mirrored nightstands. An elegant writing desk by Jules Leleu sits between the windows.”
